Me thinks Lyfe needs to get "life" in the slammer. Just one more black bro to join all the others that think they are above the law because they are black. When Barak Osama Obama becomes president the White House will then be known as the Black House!! Wake up people!!!!!!!

Fran your a fucking moron!
Yamiat 10-23-2008
Uhm... I've got to agree. You're an idiot. You can't spell, and you're racist. How you've managed to log onto a computer and post a comment on this amazes me. >.>
friguy19at 10-23-2008
wow fran, even if you had something to say, the racial undertones of your statemant make it hard to take seriously. i'm pretty sure that there are white, brown, and yellow folks in prison, as well. and as far as the "black house" comment. well that's too ignorant to even respond to. have fun living under your rock and hiding behind your prejudices and fears.

i want it to be the black house because then everyone would be able to dance really well and probably play bass guitar and there'd be super cool streetball games all the time.

Fran, I hope you read all the comments about you on this board because everyone is right.... you are a racist fucking idiot. Learn how to spell MORON

Actually I'm replying to YAMI,
She actually didn't spell anything wrong. Nice try though.
Danat 10-23-2008

mrrocknoneat 10-23-2008

Go Fran!!!

come to Brooklyn and say something look that well put some black in you
rgrn7736at 10-23-2008
Fran,
Lyfe Jennings already spent 10 years in jail, so I doubt he thinks he's above the law. As far as everything else that you wrote, I don't think people like you realize that it is the negativity and prejudice that African Americans have overcome throughout centuries that has given us strength. You'll be ok Fran*****
wardogat 10-23-2008
